Revolutions started in 1848 when people wanted unification. Liberals met at the Frankfurt Assembly to encourage a German constitution. There were disagreements within the Assembly about how Germany should be united. Catholics in the South supported a bigger Germany under the control of Austria. But, Protestants in the North supported a smaller Germany under the control of Prussia. The vote for Prussia won. In 1861 King Wilhelm, the King of Prussia, made Bismarck his chancellor. Bismarck started a war with Austria in 1866 which caused the German states to divide. With the help of Italy the Prussians won. This united the North German confederation. Bismarck provoked France into declaring war first in 1871. This gave him the support of the other German states. The Germans won.

The first revolutionary war failed. Emanuel II would lead the unification movement. He needed an ally so in the 1850s he recruited his prime minister Cavour. They sent troops to Crimea to fight the Russians alongside the French and British hoping that they would gain an ally. Napoleon came to help them and the Franco piedmont alliance against Austria was set. Emanuel attacked Austria in April of 1858 in exchange for France's support. This started the Italian Independence.

Bismarck was the prime minister of Prussia and the first chancellor of the German Empire. He was a major part of unifying Germany through wars and diplomacy. He was able to keep peace in Europe for decades. However, his domestic polices opposed the Catholic Centre and Social Democrats. He did fail to help internal unity and political evolution within Germany.

Emmanuel was the most loved ruler of the House of Savoy, but not because of his human qualities. He was a vital part of the Risorgimento process. With the help of Cavour, his prime minister, Emmanuel was able to avoid the Risorgimento proposals. The guiding values that Emmanuel took charge of in 1849 was Liberty and Unity. Emmanuel died on January 9th 1878 from an illness.

Toussaint was born into slavery in Saint Domingue. Toussaint noticed that the French were vulnerable to the British so he temporarily allied with them. After they got rid of slavery he rejoined the French in 1794. He worked to build local economy to protect the interests of the white and black. He also was a key part in the slave revolt that led to Haiti's independence. Toussaint inspired revolutions all over the world.
